第二天，当白热的太阳从山脊上升起时，中叉河变成了一缕波状的绿宝石。

The next day the sun rose white-hot above the ridgeline, turning the Middle Fork into an undulating strand of emeralds.

我和儿子山姆在前往中叉河划船的路上，中途去拜访了克雷格亥位于蒙大拿州米苏拉的家。

My son, Sam, and I were headed there, but we'd stopped to visit Craighead at his Missoula, Montana, home on our way out to paddle that river.

克雷格亥现在的记性时好时坏，不过如果你要问哪条河流给他最多的灵感，他一准儿会快速而又清晰地回答：鲑鱼河的支流中叉河。

Craighead's memory fades in and out these days, but if you ask him which river inspired him most, his answer is quick and clear: the Middle Fork of the Salmon.
